How many of you plan to have music switched on?

[Das Bose]

I never played RO1 with music on .

Immersion killing alone is enough for me to switch it on, but there's also a competitive advantage in MP to have it off.

Thats really odd because for me, having music playing breaks the immersion I doubt one could find many soldiers who recall an orchestral piece playing in the background as they assaulted an objective ( oddball doesn't count )

I would also rather they had focused more on ambience and actual sounds that a soldier would hear on a battlefield, but it has an off switch so it's all good :IS2:

I'll use it
only time i wont is if i join something like iron crescendo. otherwise, for pub games its on

On in menus, Off in gameplay.

I wish people would stop calling ostfront RO1, Red orchestra: combined arms (the mod) was the first one, ostfront the second, and this one is the third.

Music always annoys the hell out of me in MP games.

But then why is HOES called RO2 instead of RO3? :troll:

 

[Arto1990]

As a player of the original mod, HOES (lol) to me is RO3.

 

[Fedorov]

It should actually be RO5, since CA was 3.3, then Ostfront would be RO4 =P

In red orchestra I leave it on, In DH I turn it off.

A lot of red orchestra is just about the viciousness of combat, atmosphere and intensity for me, DH is about tank hunting and flanking. The great music really adds to RO's gameplay to me and makes the game feel more cinematic.

 

[timur]

the sound of gunshots and the screams of a well-aimed artiller barrage should hopefully be all the music I need

 

[Ralfst3r]

I didn't play RO with music on. But RO2 with the moral/music system, I think i'll def. leave it on. At least for the first few months or so.

Oh my,choices...choices.....let me see...ask me if I care....:troll:

 

[Moyako]

I always turn music off in RO. Haven't play RO2, so I'm not sure if I will mute it there too

 

[Ender]

On to start, slowly turn it down until its off. I have a feeling it will be and audio hint just like the off screen aides will be. You may want them to start off with but wont need it after playing for a bit.

CA was 3.3 beta so Ostfront was 1.0; that makes HoS RO2

I generally play my own music in the background, and it's usually something I listen to A LOT and almost exclusively while playing on the computer. I helps me concentrate, since I know what to expect, and it helps keep me going.

Also, as a side effect of playing games with the music turned ON, I can whistle you the menu music from UT99, UT2k3, UT2k4, UT3, RO 3.3, BF1942, etc etc...

 

[bobsynergy]

I will definitely have the music switched on, I always have it on in Red Orchestra as it sets a whole different mood as your playing and to be honest the game feels empty without it for me at least,

 

[HeyCarnut]

I'm not loving the released samples, sorry to say.

Same, but due to quality (fake instruments, with real violin that sounds recorded with low-cost condenser mic. with rough high frequencies ala shure ksm / blue baby).

But, I trust the pieces will end up played by someone skilled at the synthesizer for the released version, so I'll wait to hear them.

No music during MP - I want to focus on what's going on.

[jalex3]

I change my mind.. im not one of the people that turns dont gfx for an advanatge so why would i the music?

 

[MÆST]

I'll start with it on, but will probably eventually turn it off.

Instead of a binary off/on how about an option to keep it on when you are not in mid battle. But have it on on the loading screen, selection screen, waiting to spawn screen, death sequence, and even potentially while controlling a tank but before you are in range. It would be cool to be in a caravan of tanks driving to the battlefield with theme music going a la Apocalypse Now Ride of the Valkyries.

 

[Merin Redplate]

We'll just have to see how good the tunes are.
